Policeman Alberto and Colonel Berthier suavely persuaded the baron that French intelligence could stay in business only if he lent them funds until the National Assembly approved its budget. They entrusted to him four mysterious flasks and a jug that gurgled. "Uranium and heavy water," explained Colonel Berthier. There was even a sinister, bearded Russian who appeared at the baron's Riviera villa with an offer of $850,000 for the uranium.

Not that he minded when his father, Crown Prince Wilhelm, with Prussian humor, jovially smeared mashed potatoes in his face. He even enjoyed it when the Crown Prince emptied a jug of water over him and his elder brother Wilhelm as they lay in bed at night. Lulu objected, however, when his governess made him eat soap as a minor punishment, and he got fighting mad when tangled in royalism's red tape. Once, when he was about seven, he slipped free...
